In the original publication [1], there was a mistake in Figure 1 as published. Figure 1 was found to include the unauthorized use of content from another Figure 1, published in another paper [2]. The corrected Figure 1 appears below. The authors state that the scientific conclusions are unaffected. This correction was approved by the Academic Editor. The original publication has also been updated.

Figure 1.

Figure 1

Asymmetric hedgehog activation model that maintains distinct compartmental identity. We propose that differential Hh activation is a promising mechanism for maintaining compartmental-specific identity as well as function in the lungs. Endogenous inhibitors of Hh activation may be lost, disrupting the physiological asymmetry of Hh and resulting in altered compartmental identity and structural changes found in lung disorders.
